Peter Andre was out and about on Friday, marking his first public appearance since his recent clash with ex-wife Katie Price.
The 52-year-old singer, best known for hits like Mysterious Girl, looked casual in a black T-shirt, grey shorts, and white trainers as he picked up a prescription and even stopped to chat with a local construction worker.
This low-key outing comes just days after Peter publicly addressed a simmering dispute with Katie, who recently made comments about their children’s living arrangements.
Peter Breaks His Silence on Children’s Welfare
Peter took to social media to respond to Katie’s claims, accusing her of spreading “baseless lies.”
The former couple, married from 2005 to 2009, share two children: Junior, 20, and Princess, 18.
He wrote: “For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.”
Peter clarified that, for documented reasons and the children’s safety, Junior and Princess have been under his care since 2018.
A 2019 court order legally enforced this arrangement, though Peter had refrained from making it public to respect their privacy.
Past Court Cases Resurface
Peter reminded followers that Katie had previously made false claims in 2011 and 2015, which resulted in court-ordered damages and apologies.
He said similar accusations are now resurfacing, and promised to address them in the coming months.
Rumors of a Rift Between Katie and Princess
Meanwhile, speculation about a strained relationship between Katie and Princess has been growing, particularly after Katie was absent from her daughter’s 18th birthday celebrations and didn’t appear in ITV2’s The Princess Diaries.
Katie addressed the rumors on her podcast with sister Sophie, saying she “refuses to be gaslit” and emphasizing that she’s at peace with herself.
She stressed that her statements on the podcast reflect her honest opinions and not fabrications.
Katie Defends Her Relationship With Her Children
Katie insisted that despite reports of tension with Junior, her children love her and get along well.
She praised Princess for maintaining good spirits despite media attention, emphasizing the importance of their bond: “I love my kids, and that’s all that matters – and they love me.”
Peter and Emily React to Old Footage
Following Peter’s statement, he and his wife Emily reportedly reacted with anger to a resurfaced video of Katie speaking about Peter’s younger children with Emily.
The video, thought to be from 2020, allegedly saw Katie dismiss the children as “irrelevant” in front of Princess, which sources described as “a new low.”
An insider told The Sun: “Emily’s really hurt by the whole thing.
She’s always been classy and taken the high road, but her protective instincts have taken over. She won’t let her kids be dragged into drama.”
Katie Responds With Instagram Post
Katie fired back on Instagram with a post about “fake Saints and Sinners,” reflecting on her past struggles and mistakes.
She admitted she hasn’t always been the best mother due to mental health issues, substance reliance, and challenging past experiences, but emphasized her growth:
“I’ve recognized my issues and worked to put them behind me.
Sometimes I tried and failed, sometimes I succeeded.
I’ve pulled myself out of suicidal spiral because I love my children and want to be there for them.”
She also criticized those who maintain a “carefully managed image” and play the victim, urging both “Sinners” and “Saints” to focus on personal growth.
The Drama Continues
With tensions running high, the feud between Peter and Katie shows no signs of slowing down.
While Peter seeks to defend his family, Katie continues to reflect on her past and assert her independence.
Fans are left watching closely as both sides navigate this very public family saga.
